Giles. Pu's Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio

Today's free book is Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio by Songling Pu, translated by Herbert A. Giles. This is a literary work with many supernatural elements, along with some sexual themes that the 19th-century translator, Herbert Giles, was not comfortable with; for some comments about that, see Wikipedia.

For the table of contents, check at the bottom of this post below the image. The Giles translation was published in two volumes, but the Gutenberg online edition combines both volumes into one, and the table of contents below is from that online edition.
